Good to hear someone got up there this fall. Glad to year you caught limits as well. This will be the first year in the last 11 that I won't make it up to N. MN in the fall. Took a new job that has made it difficult to get days off. Going to South Dakota to hunt pheasants @ the end of October... but that's about it. Will hopefully fish locally a few weekends before ice up.

We really only troll after dark when we can't see to cast. The walleyes come into the shallows to feed and take a bait with gusto.
Incidentally - the perch were in the shallows, 3 to 4 foot of water. Probably could have found the rock bass there also.

Happy New Year Gene and to all CLC's. When you get tired of eating Rockies, go get some Lou Malnaties pizza. Karen and I had one of six we had delivered here to Utah on New Years eve. With some Moose Drool from Mn. Yum! Come on spring. I do NOT ice fish, too cold for these old bones. Cass Lake again in the fall. Hope time flies.
